The Northern Regional Police Command has commenced investigation into the alleged assault on the headmaster of Nyohini Junior High School Block B and two others in the Tamale Metropolis last Thursday by some unidentified men.
This comes three days after various teacher unions in the metropolis boycotted academic activities and petitioned the Metro Education Directorate and the police to ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and punished.
The Northern Regional Police Crime Officer, Superintendent Baba Ananga, in an interview with the Daily Graphic said the headteacher reported the attack on his office to the police and they had since begun a manhunt for the suspects.
